In my last post I mentioned how happy I was with getting some awesome comments on my last story. Now I deleted that part and added it back a few times, because what if people thought I was this egotistical big head?

But you know, I am proud and there's nothing wrong with that. So I'm standing here and saying I'm proud of the story, I think I wrote it well.

Now I want you to do the same. No need to dim your shine, it's just me, and I'm asking you to tell me about the story you're most proud of, with links so others can read it too if you're comfortable sharing. A paragraph that you wrote and think is amazing, and hey, copy pasting that here would be awesome. If you're not a writer, tell me about an icon you made that came out well, a graphic or a website you built. Tell me about the kick ass cards you make, that you've painted your walls at home and they look fab. The shelves you made out of breeze blocks and planks.

I want to know. So no hiding your light. Be proud.

Yay for being proud!

I have some stuff I'm proud of (ETA: these are all original stories I'm talking about, because it's what's closest to my heart), and the first NaNovel I managed to finish is definitely part of that. Here (http://disabilityqueen.com/library/nanowrimo/2004/going_home_by_ceci.htm) it is in all its raw glory (be warned, it hasn't been edited).

As far as favorite paragraphs go, I have so many favorites (with over 300 characters, that can happen to you)! I finally settled on one, though, from a story still in progress called Fighting for a Chance:

~*~

On a beautiful day which offered a cloudless sky and temperatures well in the 80s, most people were outside with as little clothes on as possible. Jamie Ristau, however, was not like most people and spent the day indoors in his bed; the air condition turned to max and headphones blaring out My Chemical Romance covering his ears.

Being able to finish a nano novel is amazing! You should totally be proud of that.

YAY! I like Jamie's choice of music!

:) Thanks! I'll be working on my April Fools novel later, because I'm a tad behind.

Great, huh? :D

I've tried to find good pics of Jamie, but it's quite difficult (well, post-illness, anyway)...but there's a small one of him (and one of Neil) here (http://disabilityqueen.com/library/fighting_for_a_chance/presentation.htm). :D
